World Class Opportunities in Education

Terri McCormick on Education

Terri McCormick believes that quality education begins with opportunities for all children to have access to instructors, mentors, and curriculum that empower them to learn and grow. She understands that competition empowers gifted educators to provide learning environments that reach students and ultimately reduce costs in the process.

Terri founded the public charter school movement in Wisconsin and was the author of Wisconsin’s first charter school laws. As a former classroom teacher, she understands that world class educational opportunities must be created in Northeast Wisconsin. After all, what is more important than our children?

In addition to supporting school choice, public charter schools, and voucher programs, Terri has always been a supporter of homeschooling.  All children deserve the opportunity to be given the essential tools they need to be literate and to participate in the vibrant American economy.

Specific solutions Terri will work toward in Congress include:

• Working to encourage educational choice options including vouchers, homeschooling, and charter schooling;
• Returning education to the states and the people by working to decrease Washington influence on Wisconsin schools;
• Working to eliminate wasteful or bureaucratic programs that fall under the arm of the Department of Education; and
• Reforming the curriculum of Teacher Colleges, to empower teachers to be skilled not only in the emotional needs of students, but also in their content area.
